Forest Hill Cemetery (Madison)

The Forest Hill Cemetery is a US national cemetry located in Madison, Wisconsin. It was established in 1847, and it was home to Native American effigy mounds dating from 700 to 1200 and formerly of Confederate Rest, a portion of the cemetery housing the remains of Confederate prisoners-of-war who died in captivity at Camp Randall. In January 2019, the cenotaph commemorating the Confederate dead was controversially removed in a decision opposed by the Dane County Historical Society, as Camp Randall had the notability of being the northernmost Confederate prisoner-of-war camp.
